This is by far the best version of this classic science fiction novel that exists. It has been carefully re-translated from the two original French versions from the 1870s (one magazine serialization, and one book) and contains 23% more text than the previous flawed English translations. It is meticulously annotated throughout with footnotes by the translators, in a most scholarly manner. It contains many of the original block prints from early editions, beautifully rendered. This edition is a lovingly crafted work of art that will delite even the most die hard Jules Verne fanatics. And as with all books published by The Naval Institute Press, this is a state-of-the-art product, printed on the highest quality acid free paper, and hardbound to last for generations as a cherished family heirloom. This unabridged, annotated, illustrated and fully restored edition of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" is, in a word, perfect. This is the one to buy!

Live in Japan by George Harrison (CD, Feb-2004, 2 Discs)

George Harrison Live in Japan--doesn't get any better!!

This is George Harrison at his absolute best: two exquisitely soul-full hours of the best music he ever wrote--Beatles and solo--backed by Eric Clapton and his band. This show swirls with emotion and shimmers with energy. When I first heard this album, I suddenly knew who ...Read full review

This is George Harrison at his absolute best: two exquisitely soul-full hours of the best music he ever wrote--Beatles and solo--backed by Eric Clapton and his band. This show swirls with emotion and shimmers with energy. When I first heard this album, I suddenly knew who the heaviest Beatle was. This album was out of print when George passed away, but in 2004 it was remastered in Direct Stream Digital as a multi channel Stereo Hybrid Super Audio CD. It's compatible with any stereo system, but also plays in surround sound on surround sound systems. This is a "must have" for anyone who enjoyed the Beatles, whether or not you followed George's solo career.

Lou Reed's Berlin (Blu-ray Disc, 2010)

Dec 09, 2013

Lou Reed's 2006 show of Berlin is absolutely brilliant and perfect!

I bought the CD version of this 2006 show just prior to Lou Reed's passing, and then ordered this Blu-ray of the show immediately following Lou's untimely death. This show is absolutely first rate, a must have for all fans, and a perfect first album for anyone interested in hearing any of his works. It is fascinating to me how he literally conducts the entire performance with tiny motions of his fingers, hands and eyebrows to all the other musicians. And Steve "The Deacon" Hunter is nothing short of fabulous on the electric and acoustic guitars. The three songs that they do in the encore set are also great, especially The Rock Minuet. If you are a Lou Reed fan or a first time listener, don't even pause for one minute: pry open your wallet and spring for this show!
